Case Studies

Examples of assignments successfully carried out in recent years

Liquified Natural Gas Plant, West Africa (2018-2019)

I investigated and opined on alleged design shortcomings relating to gas venting, compression equipment, and unsafe practices during commissioning. I presented 5 expert reports and testified at the international arbitration hearing in New York.

Polymer Plant, Saudi Arabia (2020)

I critically examined an accident report on the cause of an explosion resulting from inadequate pressure relief and procedure violation, and showed that counsel’s case was flawed.

Steel Rolling Mill, UK (2019)

I critically examined various expert reports on the cause of a fatal explosion in a supposedly non-hazardous lubrication system, to show that the prosecution case had ignored vital evidence.

Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing, UK (2016)

I investigated and opined on design procedures and design execution of a new nuclear fuel processing facility to enable the client to decide if the design contractor had met the Safety Case requirements for managing fire, radiological and toxicological hazards.
